With rumors going around that freshman defensive linemen Ronald Powell and Dominique Easley missed practice, quarterback John Brantley was the only player made available to the media Wednesday.

"I've heard those rumors, but that's the coaches' deal," Brantley said about the two freshmen.

According to the Independent Florida Alligator, Powell and Easley didn't just skip Tuesday's practice, but also threatened to transfer after coaches criticized the two during special teams practice Monday.

"At the end of the day the freshmen need to just shut their mouth and play," offensive lineman Mike Pouncey said Tuesday. "They haven't done anything on Saturday, and most of the fans don't even know who they are."

However, Brantley said the veterans have been getting along with the freshmen,

"We've been mixing in with them fine, they came in here, they're trying to make an impact and you can't ask for anything more," he said.

Two members of the 2010 recruiting class — Jordan Haden and Adrian Coxson — have already been granted there release from Florida.

Quick hits

* Brantley said he has not run any plays in practice that feature him rushing the ball.

* WR Omarius Hines said he runs a 4.33 40-yard dash. "[Hines] is like a modern day [Cornelius Ingram], but in smaller form. … It's fun watching him and seeing those little defensive backs try to tackle someone that big," OL Carl Johnson said.
